Montana Science Olympiad Home

The Montana Science Olympiad (MTSO) is devoted to improving the quality of science
education, increasing student interest in science and providing recognition for outstanding
achievement in science education by both students and teachers. The Science Math Resource
Center (SMRC) at Montana State University in Bozeman hosts the annual Montana Science
Olympiad in conjunction with the national Science Olympiad.

Science Olympiad goals are accomplished through the dedication of Montana science
teachers and parents who organize classroom activities, research, and after school
training clubs. The main focus of the competition is to elevate science education
and learning to a level of enthusiasm and support that is normally reserved only for
varsity sports programs.

Science Olympiad tournaments are rigorous academic inter-scholastic competitions that
consist of a series of individual and team events. In grades 6-12, a Science Olympiad
team functions much like a football or soccer team -- requiring preparation, commitment,
coaching and practice throughout the year. Other competitions follow the format of
popular board games and TV shows. These challenging and motivational events are well
balanced between various disciplines: biology, earth science, chemistry, physics,
computer science and technology. There is also a balance between events requiring
knowledge of science facts, concepts, processes, skills and science.
